[Vision2020] Irony

[Scott Dredge]

It's not quite that ironic given that the guy is a double spy of the worst kind. And even so, there are conspiracy theorists who hold the guy up as a hero. Who knows? I'm guessing now that even Benedict Arnold was held in high esteem by a few gullible folks. Anywho, Fox News has a balanced article pondering whether Snowden is a whistleblower or a double agent. Decide for yourself.

> “Only by bringing Mr. Snowden to justice can we safeguard the most precious of American rights: privacy,” added the spokesman, apparently serious.
